Organiser's Description
Little Neck Turkey Trot & Gobble Wobble
Join LNRC at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving morning for a fun-filled community run in Little Neck! The Turkey Trot and Gobble Wobble are family-friendly events open to runners and walkers of all ages. There will be a 5k and 1 mile route that stays on the Little Neck Road path, but roads will not be closed.
This isn't a timed race - it's a chance to celebrate fitness, friendship, and gratitude before the big feast. Well start and finish at the Little Neck Swim and Racquet Club, following our usual run club-style format with plenty of good vibes and holiday cheer.
Safety Reminder
Please remember that roads will not be closed for this event. Both the 5K and 1-mile routes stay on the Little Neck Road path, but please be alert to traffic, especially when crossing streets. This is a fun run, not a race all about fitness, friendship, and gratitude before the big feast!

We're collecting donations for the Virginia Beach Housing Resource Center again this year. Last year, we collected and donated a truckload of clothing that went to supporting individuals in our area experiencing homelessness during the winter.

* Adult underwear (new, unopened): men & women / all sizes, _NEW_
